Don’t want to sweat it out in an auction? Now you can BUY (using your points, not cash!) select items IMMEDIATELY! No waiting for the end of the auction or worrying about competing bids!
Where do I find Buy-It-Now items?
Buy-it-now items will appear on the Auction page. So to access them from the mobile app, just tap the plus sign, and then tap “Auctions”. See figure 1. From desktop, just click the Auctions link near the top of the screen after you’ve logged in.

Now look down the list of available auction items. If you see a button on the right that says “Buy” instead of “Bid”, you can buy it now! See figure 2. The number in the Points field is the price of the item (sorry…you can’t change it!). If you tap the “Buy” button, you’ll be asked to confirm that you want to proceed, and if you say yes, and if you have enough points in your account, those points will immediately be deducted from your account, and the item is yours!

Just like with auctions, tap the item for additional detail. See figure 3.

If I buy it now, can anyone else buy it, or bid on it?
No. A Buy-It-Now item is not available for bidding at all, and each item can have only one buyer.
I don’t see anything listed with “Buy” next to it, only items that say “Bid”.
That just means that right now there aren’t any buy-it-now items available. Keep your eyes peeled for more coming soon!
